Technology Component
The integrated thematic unit will incorporate a variety of
Technologies. From social media, blogging, web searches, to creating video PSA
students will be required to use these digital age learning tools to help
facilitate their understanding. More specifically students will be using twitter
to find and record pictures of social inequality with in their community as well as to prove they have done their homework for US History by tweeting about their most surprising research results. For
their service learning project students will learn to write emails to local
businesses and charities to help them acquire donations. They will also use a
Blogging tool such as blogger to help communicate with other students and ask
questions. As a way to communicate and spread awareness students will also
create a short PSA video to help generate support and awareness of their
service learning component.
